Vintage 2007 | A treat. This Graves wine rocks each time I taste it. Mesmerizing smell. Lots of character and fruit in a taste that still shows tannins after 17 years. Very good effort in what is seen as a difficult year. Paired with truffed hamburger.

A bit to hard character and tannins are hard and unbalanced profile - not a big success this vintage - lets see how it will go with a few years of aging

No human remains were used in the making of this beautiful Bordeaux blend from Graves :)
Although I did get some subtle meat on the nose.

Fresh mushroom, berry and currant on the nose and palate. Medium body, good tannins and plenty of fruit for the vintage.

Amazingly complex. Think it's in for the long haul.
